fereday04 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think your gear box problem will be the linkages. I have the same problem with mine and had a word with a fella at vw2000 and he said it would be the gear linkages so that was good news for me so i'll get that sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nny Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 ah hope mine is something like that mate, let me know when you get yours done. and to your earlier question, no they havent been retrimmed, they are factory, thi car was a demonstrator model so was loaded with all the extras VW had at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
